1.A PREMISE: Despite the challenges, writing in a foreign language can be incredibly rewarding. It will sharpen your thoughts and ultimately strengthen your voice. It’s tough but persist!!!
2.LANGUAGE BARRIER: Reading is key. Use style books, which are incredibly useful. Rely on good proof-reader, but make sure that they know the technical language. Approach translation tools with skepticism.

II- Ask yourself what story do you want to tell, to whom and why? Think of yourself as a teacher who wants to explain something to someone, who wants to be understood and to have his/her work used.

(II) When writing the literature review of an article, never copy paste it from your PhD thesis. Don't summarize it or recycle it to fit a new article. Each article is a new scholarly engagement and the literature review is a conversation between you & other scholars.
(III) The lit review--its extension, content, and limits--are defined by the research question of yr article. If you find yourself struggling w/ the length of the lit. review, perhaps you should revisit your research question. It may be too broad.
